Photographing certain scenes for the film and animations completely made of the photographs is traditional technique that filmmakers have begun to engage in the early 20th century. Technique was often used in films for creating special effects like in the movie Star Wars. This method is based on giving life to objects and characters through a series of connected images. Principle of creating such animation is to photograph scene and object, then making small changes on the object or in the scene and then photographing the altered scene. When these images are merged together in a program, it creates the illusion of motion and people get the impression that the changes occurring in the scene are happening by themselves. The official name of such technique is stop-motion photography. Theoretical part of the paper will briefly describe the history of stop-motion and introduce the reader to different types of stop-motion animation. Besides history, the technique and equipment necessary for creating such animation will be described. Experimental part will consist of explaining how stop-motion animation was made. This self made animation will be used as an example for good things and problems that have occurred during the shooting and possible solutions will be described. Stop animation technique is not forgotten. Today the use of stop-motion photography is increasing in areas like music videos, film, animation and children shows.
